Worst parts about MM is that it doesn't take upgrades into account, a stock tank bottom of the table is just like throwing a handful of rocks at another tank.

Yeah that was my main issue, just got the JagdPanther and the game starts matching me against Tier 9's most games. Hopefully it's better when I get the upgraded gun for it because at the moment it feels like I'm firing potatoes at most targets.

I was wondering does the MM take into account a players skill, rating. When I win a few games I seem to get easier matched. So I get a good run. When I lose a few I seem to get harder matched games.

My Herzer was great for ages but I stopped playing it as it suddenly became a paper tank at higher tiers much more often than in the past.

I wondered about that. Because say in the KV1 you almost never see a stock one matched in T7 they are all with 85mm. Maybe I'm imagining it. Hardly ever see the DERP 122. (loading times are horrendous).

I can vouch for the T67 constantly being the bottom tier. It has got to the point recently where every time I play a tier 5 or 6 , 7 and 8 I am more often than not the lowest tier......a bit frustrating to say the least.

One of the reasons, I picked up the T67 was because it used to be a game changer, when I played against it in lower tiers. Now I have it, I almost never get MM against lower tiers. I wonder do they see tanks that are doing too well and nerf them in MM to re-balance the game. Perhaps because I'm going for those tanks, I get caught out, when they do it.

I'll be on later if anyone wants a few games, playing in tier 5, 6 and 7 tanks atm.

Does anyone still use TeamSpeak ?

If they do I might reinstall it.

Well the Tiger I is a massive disappointment.

I run away from the Tiger II, but the Tiger I isn't as scary as I expected. I'll have a pop at the sides and rear with anything, even the front machine gun port is made of cheese.

neoboy · 8 Jun 2015 at 15:38

Shouldn't have much trouble penetrative it from the front either as long as you don't hit the sloped strip, gun mantlet is about the only semi strong part of it.

bru · 8 Jun 2015 at 15:43

Oh dear the Caernarvon, so far it seems a really, really bad tank. Slow badly armoured and a rubbish gun.

neoboy · 8 Jun 2015 at 17:14

It's like the British Tiger equivalent of a heavy tank that's not really heavy and needs to stay behind a front line or snipe somewhere.

yeah but the stock gun is rubbish.

How so?

The stock gun was a bit rubbish and I was hating the grind

the top gun is actually pretty good now I have it though.

I mainly play British tanks so am used to having to hold back a bit and think more rather than charge in, as far as T7 heavies go I still prefer the T29 by a long way. Also considering the Tiger was meant to be one of the most feared tanks in WWII, in WoT it's a bit meh really. It's not bad just underwhelming.

neoboy · 13 Jun 2015 at 20:59

I think it is a case of expectations more than anything as it's a great tank in its own right in the game.

Col_M · 14 Jun 2015 at 10:58

I had a top gun robbed from me by RNGesus

The shot went high, there was the smallest amount of the aim circle that wasn't covering the SPG and of course that's where the first shot went

prj1865 · 14 Jun 2015 at 18:03

Nice game, that is a good position on that map.

You do get some funny stuff in WoT - I've had my ISU-152 (286pen) hit a Leopard followed by a Cromwell with consecutive shots, both critical hits for 0 damage.

How do you YouTube replays?

Col_M · 14 Jun 2015 at 22:39

I use Fraps to capture the video and then Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 to edit and encode it for YouTube.

Sometimes you just get squiffy shots

I had a game today where I took about 4 shots at light tanks or the sides of meds and the shots just seemed to disappear, the crew didn't say anything to say it penned or bounced and I didn't see any dirt fly up. Strange.

prj1865 · 15 Jun 2015 at 22:59

From reading around I'm pretty sure that there is an issue with ghost shells at the moment since the last few patches.

Hotwired · 26 Jun 2015 at 12:54

Muahaha

Only sees T8 and T9 matches and has obscene frontal armour with the HD update.

neoboy · 26 Jun 2015 at 12:57

I'm going to be honest, I uninstalled it few weeks back and I really haven't missed this game :/

Not really sure if there will be enough incentive to come back to it at this point.
